Loftis Thanks Taxpayers for their TrustRepublican nominee for State Treasurer to set up Transition Team and Transparency Taskforce.(Loftis has no Democrat opposition in the general election)

West Columbia, SC – Republican nominee for State Treasurer Curtis Loftis sent an open thank you letter to the more than two hundred thousand South Carolinians who gave him the honor of their vote on Tuesday.

With his 61-39% victory on Tuesday, Loftis became the first Republican to best an incumbent constitutional officer in modern state history. Loftis does not have opposition in the November general election.

In an open letter to South Carolinians, Loftis hinted to an active transition period that will be used to ensure South Carolina has the nation’s most transparent State Treasurer’s office.

Loftis issued the following statement:

Dear Fellow South Carolinians,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I cannot tell you thank you enough for the support and honor you have given me.

I wish I could list each and every person who helped out, but simply put it was an effort that succeeded because of the countless South Carolinians who got involved and made their voice heard.

This victory was not about me. It was about the taxpayers of South Carolina and the need for conservative reform, accountability and transparency.

Over the next few months, we will begin the transition process and I look forward to announcing my transition team and transparency task force.

I pledge that I will run the most transparent Treasurer’s office in the nation and will be a good steward of your tax dollars.

Thank you again for the trust you have placed in me.

Sincerely,
Curtis Loftis

Loftis, a small business owner, won the Republican nomination for State Treasurer on June 8, 2010. He faces no Democrat opposition in the fall.
